So, you didn’t know that Wikipedia has a porn problem?
Let me say what I do not mean by “Wikipedia’s porn problem.” I do not mean
simply that Wikipedia has a lot of porn.
What is the relationship with gender-gap ? Are female children more
unlikely to contribute to Wikimedia projects if they saw some porn on
Wikipedia or Commons ?

This was something we discussed at
WikiWomenCamp was a very valuable experience for those of us that

Thank you for the report, Laura. It sounds like there were some very
productive discussions.
I look forward to seeing the list of reasons women don't participate on

I would encourage caution about the mailing list, for the same reasons as

The best way to make sure an image filter is never implemented on

What research is needed?
We have academics across the world who want to do research on Wikimedia.
What questions can we put to the researchers in order to obtain a
better understanding of

I think that better than ask why people don't contribute, is better tell
them why SHOULD they? For us is easier to pass by the fact that not
everyone knows why they should contribute. We should give they as much info
